885CEF51D73F5A8CA89219CB20107831.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Antenna with more than 50 flagellomeres. Maxillary palpus segment 3 strongly enlarged and laterally flattened in both sexes (Fig. 1 D, F), segment 4 distinctly expanded basally. Labial palpus segment 2 inflated. Propodeum with short mid-longitudinal carina medioanteriorly which divides to form a pair of near parallel submedial carinae. Hind wing veins 1 rs-m and M joining at an acute angle, much less than 75 °. Hind wing vein M 1.15 – 1.5 × longer than M + CU. Hind tibia with comb of modified setae distomedially (Fig. 2 B). Hind tibial spurs straight and evenly setose. Tarsal claws with large, dark, rather square basal lobe. Metasomal tergite 1 approximately 1.2 × longer than posteriorly wide. Dorsope present, large and deep; dorsal carinae of metasomal tergite 1 remaining separate or joined to form point (Fig. 2 E). Metasomal tergite 2 with wide polygonal midbasal area (Fig. 2 F); midlongitudinal carina variably present. Metasomal tergites 2 – 5 with sharp lateral crease. Female hypopygium ventrally nearly straight and posteriorly truncate. Rogas was redescribed and illustrated by van Achterberg (1991), reproduced and slightly modified by Chen and He (1997), and the holotype of Rogas luteus was illustrated by van Achterberg (1991). Chen and He (1997) provide a key to Old World species. Rogas may be distinguished from both Old and New World Triraphis by its maxillary palpi having the third segment swollen and laterally flattened having the swollen third segment (Fig. 1 D, F), the occipital carina being complete (although sometimes weak) ventrally and joining hypostomal carina (reduced ventrally, without ventral junction with hypostomal carina in Triraphis) (Fig. 1 C) (Ratnasingham and Hebert 2013), and with claws which have a large, dark square (truncate) basal lobe (small, acute and pale in Triraphis) (Fig. 2 C) (van Achterberg 1991; Chen and He 1997). All reliable host records for Rogas are from Limacodidae caterpillars (Quicke and Shaw 2006). Published records from Zygaenidae result from failure to recognize Triraphis as a distinct genus (Quicke et al. 2003) and records from other families might result from misidentifications of Aleiodes species.	en	Quicke, Donald L.

B8A153B6B63F5A5B96974376DF9D31A3.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Named in honor of Eduardo Mitio Shimbori in recognition of his contributions to Neotropical Rogadinae systematics. Molecular results Analysis of the concatenated two gene data set recovers the new species nested within the Old World Rogas representatives, and as sister group to R. roxana from the Russian Far East, though with low support (Fig. 3), and far removed from Triraphis. However, the latter genus was not recovered as monophyletic and its two clades were well separated. The larger clade was entirely comprised of Meso- and South American species whereas the smaller clade largely contained Old World species but also including T. discoideus (Cresson, 1869) from North America and one species, T. robertomirandai Sharkey, 2021, from Costa Rica.	en	Quicke, Donald L.
